From Hour to Hour
Sometimes reality slaps us right in the face. We may be out of money, facing jail, losing a loved one, or hating our circumstances. However, right this hour we have only one true reality: SOBRIETY. Without sobriety all the above only gets worse! I make contact with Divine Intelligence so that I am not preoccupied with things outside my control. I want to remember why I am here. To insist stubbornly on clinging to old relationships, when they are basically drug oriented relationships is sabotaging our recovery process. Is it not our disease finding a 'good' excuse to keep us close to drugs? May I be able to hear the suggestions of those who work with me. May I listen in this next hour and follow the suggestions. Hour To Hour - Book - Quote Even when we consciously don't think we want to get high, our disease of addiction works through our subconscious and calls, 'what do they know; just one won't hurt; well, if they're going to be like that!' Our subconscious pops silly excuses for using into our minds. We must learn to recognize and neutralize these thoughts. May my subconscious 'arguments' that subtly tell me to use, have no power to influence my true goal of staying clean and clear. Recovery allows us to listen to these subliminal messages from our disease, and recognize them for what they are and where they come from. We are given a choice and allowed to make a decision. Do I want to stay clean or sober, or do I want to go back to that old way of life. Do I realize I just may not make it back, a second chance may not be an option. Relapse was not an option for me. It was stay clean and sober or die. ![]()
